They are kidding right?

Even your license plate can go 'green'

To qualify for the plates, drivers will need to make a donation to the Colorado Carbon Fund, which is a voluntary carbon offset program being created by the Governor's Energy Office. They will also need to pay $55.36 for the plate. The Carbon Fund will be up and running later this spring to direct money toward Colorado-based projects designed to promote clean energy and climate mitigation projects. Vehicles over 16,000 pounds will not be eligible to a Colorado Carbon Fund license plate.

Whew! I bet all those 6400 lb H2 owners are happy that they can get involved...

16,000 pounds? What vehicle other than the massive motor homes or commercial vehicles would weigh more than 16,000 pounds?

Yet another joke brought to you buy the enviroMENTALists...
